1. Tell me a little about yourself. How long have you been active as a comic artist and what have you been up to?

I have been drawing and making comics since I was little, but it was in high school that I started getting into comics more seriously and discovered alternative comics. Last year I graduated from the comic art school (Serieskolan) in Malmö and my graphic novel for children called “Stora Björn och Lilla Björn” (“Big Bear and Little Bear”) was published by Ordbilder Media. I have also been freelancing, published comic strips and participated in a couple of fanzines and exhibitions.

2. Why did you want to participate in this project?

I like adult comics, but until learning about Swedish Comic Sin I had never thought about the possibility of making one myself. Then I read the previous anthologies and got inspired to make my own erotic comic and be a part of the project! I want to try out all different kinds of comic genres, and I thought making an erotic one could be a really fun challenge. I also think Swedish Comic Sin is a great concept, and the anthology can be a good introduction if you’re interested in reading erotic comics.

3. Have you drawn any erotic comics or incorporated sex in your stories before?

I like making comics about people and everyday life so you’d think I’d portrayed sex before, but I haven’t.

4. What has been the most difficult and challenging thing about this project?

It was challenging to draw cunnilingus in an angle that actually shows the vulva and drawing two people kissing without it looking like they’re just smashing their faces together. It was also a bit of a challenge to write in English since my comics usually are in Swedish, and to portray two people having sex and being intimate and trying to capture a spontaneous, natural mood - I didn’t want it to seem “scripted”.

5. What has been the most fun part?

Drawing lips and naked bodies, writing the script, reading the other comics in the anthology, and just getting to be a part of a really great anthology.

6. What are you up to now and where are you heading? Any plans?

I have applied for the second year at the comic art school in Malmö and am currently keeping my fingers crossed and living in Karlshamn where I work in the municipality with concept designing and developing information-brochures. I am also an active member of the comic collectives “Dotterbolaget” and “Ritualen”, and those may be good to keep an eye on if you want to see some of my upcoming works!

1. Tell me a little about yourself. How long have you been active as a comic artist and what have you been up to?

I
studied comics at Högskolan i Gävle from 2005-2008, since then I’ve
made fanzines and participated in anthologies sporadically.

2. Why did you want to participate in this project?

Mostly
because it’s a great deal of fun, but I also think Swedish Comic Sin has come to fill
an important role in showcasing a spectrum view of sex, sexuality and
gender, and it has been a great experience for me to not only produce,
but to learn as well.

3. Have you drawn any erotic comics or incorporated sex in your stories before?

Yup,
I’ve participated in Swedish Comic Sin twice before (#2 and #3) and have also made a
comic for the Freya anthology, which incorporates sex while not being a
erotic comic.

4. What has been the most difficult and challenging thing about this project?

With
each comic I’ve made, I’ve noticed that the protective layers of humor
and irony gets more peeled off. I wouldn’t say that my latest comic is
particularly serious or anything, it does contain a bit of humor, but
compared to my earlier works it’s not as much of a joke anymore. It does
make me feel more vulnerable, but I also think my comics are better for
it.

5. What has been the most fun part?

Deciding to do
something and then actually pulling through. It can feel easy when
deciding the idea to think of something out of your comfort zone, but
when it’s time to draw everything out in detail, suddenly I can feel a
bit shy again. If I wasn’t participating in a project like this I
might’ve bailed out earlier, but knowing we’re all making this anthology
together I’m being held accountable until the comic is done, and I get
great feedback along the way.

6. What are you up to now and where are you heading? Any plans?

I’m
getting more and more interested in erotic comics, both as a producer
and consumer, and I’ve started applying for other anthology projects
within the erotica genre as well. It seems my tourism of the erotica
genre has lead to me making a permanent stay.

1. Tell me a little about yourself. How long have you been active as a comic artist and what have you been up to?

I've been creating stories my entire life, but it wasn't until 2013 that I started creating comics.Before then I mostly did illustrations and did CG paintings, and I still do at times.However being a comicartist is my purpose in life. I love it.

2. Why did you want to participate in this project?

I love sex and attraction. And
I enjoy portraying these elements. When the oppourtunity to join SCS5
came up, I felt that I had to participate. Not just for the sake of
getting to portray something erotic - but also becuase the anthology is
about breaking norms and stigmas that usually surround sex and love. I
saw my chance to portray a scenario that hopefully will broaden the mind
of many.

3. Have you drawn any erotic comics or incorporated sex in your stories before?

Sex i a big drive in how I telI stories, however it has never been the
focus or puepose of the story itself. This was a first timer for me. And
it ws so much fun!I have drawn...a ton.. of smut in my days. I salute you hardcore yaoi for opening that door to me!

4. What has been the most difficult and challenging thing about this project?

To "find" the characters I think. I have written about these characters
for many years now, but this is the first time that I've gotten to
portray them like this. I know their story, and what they think. Now how
do I get the reader to see that as well? I've gotten alot of great
feedback during the making of my contribution to this anthology so I
feel really good about the result.

5. What has been the most fun part?

Discovering new ways to portray arrousal. And oh gosh.. the climaxing. I
tapped into visions of the past and got to make few dreams come true.

6. What are you up to now and where are you heading? Any plans?

I'm working day and night with my projectWicked Hero. It
will available as a webcomic, and if you're going to SIS15 I will also
have fanzines with characters from teh same universe... next to the
beautiful anthology SCS5 *Wink*.
